Invaders around the world in 2017
- 1. Space Invaders around the World The 2017 Invasions Revisited by RVLeb - January 2018
- 3. My interest for Street Art began with Banksy’s performance in New York in October 2013. I then discovered that Space Invader had invaded Lausanne, Geneva, Bern and Basel in Switzerland. During that period I became aware of beautiful mirror mosaics randomly placed in Pully, near Lausanne. After this initial period, I began to make a virtual trip around the world, looking for Invader’s work online. This is the result of my quest. This document follows a first synthesis made in 2014 and a 2nd one in 2017: http://fr.slideshare.net/rvleb/space-invaders-around-the-world https://fr.slideshare.net/rvleb/invaders-around-the-world-as-of-january-2017

- 11. The previous slide gives the list of the 2017 Space Invader (SI) invasions. Here is the meaning of each column. CITY: SI has invaded 74 places so far, some such as Cote D’Azur include many towns… #: Number of invasions in city. Ref: The 2 to 4 letter acronym SI uses for the references of the work. PA_1234 is the 1234th invasion in Paris. Sometimes there is a zero such as #LA_047 . No Reference: Number of references in location for which I could not find any image. Ref. missing: The list of references missing for a city. When too many, the ones founded are in-between (). Images missing: Number of images missing in any location (different from previous as some images exist without a ref.) Not located: Place not located in city corresponding Google map. Points: SI give a value in points to each invasion, just like in the video game. This gives the points per city. Waves: SI may have invaded a city multiple times. Each invasion is called a wave. News: SI published newsletters. This gives the newsletter in which the city is mentioned. For example www.space-invaders.com/inl22.html#english Map: SI published maps with some cities.
